​For students in the Risk Management and Actuarial Science fields, passing exams given by professional societies is of critical importance to their professional development.

These include exams for the CEBS, CPCU and ARM designations, as well as actuarial exams sponsored by the Society of Actuaries. The following is a list of the recent exams passed by our members, as well as a brief overview of what that exam entails.
